I’m counting to 3, Israel! One! Two! Two and an eighth! Two and a seventh!

Do not cross this line! Draws new line. Do not cross this line! Draws new line.

And then you end up being like Bugs Bunny in this particular clip.

"You only have another 2 or 3 months of unconditional support for your genocide before we start calling you out"

This really reads like, "wrap it up quickly."

Once support erodes israel will be met with mild disapproval. They should be careful America might send them a strongly worded letter or two.

To Biden: WAVER LOUDER.

You green lit this. Now wringing hands isn't really the dark Brandon move - unless they back down. A week ago.

He unleashed hell by 'unconditional' support. All he had to do was to be nuanced and ask for a proportional response following the Geneva convention. And we're still not talking about the long term effect this will have for his own country. And he was doing so well...

Lol sure. The american military industrial complex will just throw away potential and active profits for the benefit of the world.

It'll erode when it loses value, which will either be if Israel magically collapses, or if they run out of money to pay for arms.

It's been massively detrimental to Biden's approval ratings, and nothing he does will win over the right. This is rapidly becoming a threat to the viability of the Democrats in an election.

The government created this monster for a purpose, and this ain't it. So I tend to find it somewhat credible, although disappointing in its hesitancy

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

But Biden is totally willing to try to cut a secret arms deal with them anyway.

[-] Zippit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

God these people are so out of touch with reality. Israel had it all, even support from millions of moderate muslims over the world. They lost it after what, day 3? We're almost a month in and these assholes act if the world was supporting them all the time. Talk about forming the narrative. They're so stupid they threw millions online for ads to support them and still lost public approval.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


President Joe Biden and his top advisers are warning Israel with growing force that it will become increasingly difficult for it to pursue its military goals in Gaza as global outcry intensifies about the scale of humanitarian suffering there.

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point.

In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.

Particularly jarring to Biden and his national security team, two sources familiar with the matter said, were Israeli airstrikes this week that targeted a refugee camp in northern Gaza, resulting in grim scenes of widespread destruction and deaths.

Biden has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the relentless images of Palestinian women and children being pulled from rubble could start to narrow Israel’s ability to move forward with its current operation, according to senior administration officials.

And that isn’t just limited to IDF’s operation in Gaza: In a call with Netanyahu on Sunday, Biden told the prime minister he was concerned about the surge in violence against Palestinians by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and was emphatic that that the attacks had to stop, according to a source briefed on the conversation.


The original article contains 1,440 words, the summary contains 234 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Ooof, I love you but whatever is going on here is hard to read.

[-] agitatedpotato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I guarantee that Israel funding is so important to him that either it will happen without congress or they'll make concessions to republicans to get it done.
